Lugano is located in a bay of Lake Lugano, surrounded by several mountains. The historic city center with its Lombard-style buildings and exclusive museums, the mountains, the lake and a comprehensive calendar of events encourage visits, business and relaxation. The lake is bordered by the large Belvedere Garden, which is beautifully adorned with camellias and magnolias, subtropical plants and works of modern art. The high quality of the various exhibitions held in this city of art and architecture attracts many amateurs. The MASI (Museo d'Arte della Svizzera Italiana) exhibits works by Klee, Jawlensky, Renoir and Degas among others.
